Thanks for showing up here and replying. I can understand the net being cast too wide for a real problem you are trying to solve. It does have real consequences for already under-resourced communities, though.

I appreciate the "fix-it-twice" attitude implied by the RCA promise (Root Cause Analysis for those who also had to look it up). Also, consider recognition and restitution for the unnecessary work you created for the NumFOCUS director, a NumFOCUS lawyer, and the SymPy maintainers.

A $25k donation to NumFOCUS would be a good start.

If you are willing to talk about what happened publicly, I'm starting a podcast/video series to discuss business and open-source. This would make an interesting conversation. Perhaps we can turn this into a positive to raise awareness and inspire better behavior in the industry? Ping me.

Most of which will go to director's salaries. What do these directors do apart from harassing conference members?

Great way to get $25k (and I'm with you, I don't mean that sarcastically or that you don't deserve it), the company needs to pay up to manage somewhat their reputation.
